Pastoral Care Teams

Kilbride’s Pastoral Care Team was set up in 2012 as a way of using the many pastoral gifts that God has given members of the church and to help meet the pastoral needs of a large congregation. Each person on the team regularly visits elderly, housebound and ill members of the church with the aim of showing Christ’s love, providing friendship and helping to encourage and practically support those in need. The team consists of both male and female members of Kilbride who meet regularly for training; everything they do is confidential and they offer a high standard of care as they seek to serve God in their roles as pastoral carers.

If you would like to be visited by a member of the Pastoral Care Team then please contact Maureen Stirling & Denise Milligan who head up the team.

Kilbride Presbyterian Church has successfully completed safe church training. As a result we are committed to the following:
1.We will support the Safe Place Campaign Pledge: never to commit, condone or stay silent about domestic violence or abuse.
2. We will acknowledge that domestic violence or abuse are problems that impact on all of us as a society, and will be prepared to play our part in supporting anyone  affected.
3. We will provide a Safe Place for anyone affected by domestic violence or abuse to confidentially access information.
4. We will effectively respond to disclosures of abuse and support anyone affected to access support. (Mandatory Safe Church training)
5. We will raise awareness within the Church that there are no excuses for acts of domestic violence or abuse.
6. We will commit to raising awareness about the support available for anyone affected by domestic violence or abuse and work in partnership with other organisations to  ensure best practice.
You will find further information about this on our community noticeboard or on leaflets in the church hall. Please join with us in prayer that God may bring healing to those who suffer abuse behind closed doors.
